Arsenal Suffer Injury Blow as Havertz Is Forced Off in Germany Match
Havertz was treated on the field and walked off under his own power after being replaced in the 30th minute, Germany said.
On Thursday, Sept. 24, Arsenal forward Kai Havertz was substituted 30 minutes into Germany's UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands after sustaining a knee injury from a challenge by Quinten Timber.
The injury occurred during head coach Jurgen Klopp's debut with Germany, as Havertz was caught on the knee with a raised boot from Crystal Palace player Quinten Timber, who received a yellow card for the challenge.
After being replaced by Younes Ebnoutalib, Havertz walked off the pitch under his own power; Netherlands and Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey was also forced off with a muscle injury.
Arsenal are not back in Premier League action until hosting Leeds United on October 10, with Havertz having scored three times in seven total appearances this season.
Brobbey's exit follows a hat-trick in Sunderland's 5-3 defeat to Manchester City last Sunday, leaving both teams facing uncertainty about their forwards' availability from this UEFA Nations League fixture.
Kai Havertz has been ruled out of Germany's Nations League match against the Netherlands with an injury. The Arsenal forward had his thigh bandaged before limping off the pitch.
